Kind of crazy to imagine a world without Gamestop at this point. As irritating as some of their sales practices can be, I've always enjoyed having access to a nearby specialty store when I didn't want to wait and order one of games online. Still, perhaps they'll find a way to turn things around in the next few years? Hard to say now, but I would be a bit sad to see one of the biggest names in game sales go under. |
Yeah, Gamestop does some shitty things sometimes (I personally witnessed a salesman tell a lady she needed to buy a cooling fan attachment for her PS2 or it would CATCH ON FIRE, for example) but I've been reading their salespaper and seeing what was available since the days of Electronic Boutique and Babbages. I have a lot of games I wouldn't have gotten any other way if EB Games/Gamestop didn't exist and most--not all--but most of the employees have been really cool. I still stop by one every chance I get. It would be the end of an era.
